CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein is reporting the 2022 ACC-Big Ten Challenge match-ups and according to his sources the Syracuse Orange will travel to face the Illinois Fighting Illini this November.
Syracuse has faced Illinois three times and has a 1-2 record with the Orange winning the last match-up back in 1995 behind Marius Janulis’ 18 points. This will be the first time Jim Boeheim will face a coach other than Lou Henson.
Last season Illinois finished 23-10 under Brad Underwood, losing in the NCAA second round. The Illini added Matthew Mayer from Baylor, former Kentucky commit Skyy Clark and a former Syracuse target Ty Rodgers.
